“…The patient was advised by the clinician to follow an exercise program after completing the Bioptron light treatment. Like Low Level Laser Light (LLLL), Bioptron light is also a low-power light source but differ from LLLL in that Bioptron light is incoherent and polychromatic rather than coherent and monochromatic [8]. Moreover, Bioptron light combines infrared light at a wavelength of 700-3400nm and visible light at a wavelength of 480-700nm [8].…”

“…Several drawbacks have impaired the usefulness of LLLL in comparison to Bioptron light, such as high risk, required user skills, the small diameter of the laser beam, which allows only a limited area to be treated and high cost [8]. Both the infrared and visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum of Bioptron light can explain its mechanism of action [8]. It is probable that Bioptron light has biostimulative effects improves the blood supply and accelerates the cellular mechanisms [8], but more research is needed to investigate how this occurs.…”

Background:The effectiveness of the physiotherapy modalities has been investigated in chronic LET. To our knowledge, there have been no studies to find out the effectiveness of physiotherapy modalities in acute LET. The aim of the present report is to find out the effect of polarized polychromatic non-coherent (BIOPTRON) light in acute LET. Case report: A patient with right dominant unilateral LET for less than 48 hours participated in the present case study. The patient followed a course of BIOPTRON light twice per day for five consecutive days. Outcome measures were pain and function, using a visual analogue scale, the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation and the pain-free grip strength. The evaluation of the patient occurred before and after the end of treatment. There was a decline in pain and a rise in function in all evaluations. Conclusion: The results of the present trial suggest that a course of Bioptron light as described in the present trial can produce significant improvements in terms of pain and disability in acute LET.

The most prevalent type of photo therapies are low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and ultraviolet (UV) treatments, which are distinguished by the physical properties of the light employed. However, in latest years, it has been suggested that polarization and an extensive light band including all light spectra are essential aspects in light treatment. Light waves are filtered to align and vibrate in a single plane, resulting in polarized light (PL). Light that has been polarized can penetrate tissues more deeply than light that has not been polarized. The visible light spectrum is very broad. PL varies from other types of light therapy in that it uses a considerably wider spectrum of wavelengths than LLLT or UV. As a result, PLT devices are often less expensive and simple to operate. Since the late 1960s, light therapy has been used to treat anything from neonatal jaundice to psoriasis and vitiligo. Fenyö created a PL source and found that it can stimulate wound healing in a similar way to the low-energy laser. In comparison to the laser, this source of light had numerous gains: lesser prices, fewer hazards, a greater area to be treated, and no sophisticated user expertise. Despite several findings from fundamental research (in vitro, in vivo, and animal trials), practitioners continue to have reservations regarding PL's potency and utility in treating musculoskeletal problems. It is even largely believed that the commercial use of these therapies is validated by a sufficient amount of scientific evidence based on reliable clinical papers. The major goal of this study is to gather information on the use of PL for treatment of various wound types in animal and human investigations.
